Social Media Appending

We can append the respective social media profiles of your customers to your customer file. You can identify customers/prospects' interests, points of interest, trigger points, converse with them, and create a two-way communication. It's now possible to append your B2B customer and prospect databases with social media addresses and other social marketing data. This new social layer makes it possible to connect and engage with your audience across multiple channels. With this data, you'll know the “Four W's” of your audience:

Who: demographics, occupation, location, and more
What: interests, brand affinities, lifestyles, and influence
Where: social sites used an online hangouts
With Whom: friends and associates

A social profile adds personality to what was previously only a name, job title, lead score, or customer history. Arming your sales team with social network information in a CRM lets them have more authentic conversations with business decision-makers.

Reasons why you should map your customers and prospects to social media:

You only pay for e-mail addresses that are successfully appended, deliverable, and have received an opt-out message and decided not to unsubscribe from your e-mail list.
